Runoffs happen when no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote during the primary election. Runoffs take the top two vote getters to compete for 50% plus one.

Cobb officials are reminding voters that this is not a county-wide election. If you are unsure, please check on the Cobb Election’s website or call their office before heading to the polls.
